Why else would I care? Customer satisfaction is a thing and saying its just a first world problem is rhetorical nonsense.

Smug? You're the person pretending your opinion is what decided "right and wrong".
I've never noticed the menus to be any problem for me, and the wait time to get into a game is a minute or so if i know what I want, so what's the big deal?
Seriously, just don't buy it. I don't think anyone who doesn't like something about the game should follow that, people have the right to complain about the little stuff. But if you have the passionate hate for EA where everyone who disagrees with you is somehow "objectively wrong" then you know what?
Don't.
Buy.
It.
You whine about EA ruining game franchises and how 2k5 is better than the latest Madden and blah blah blah. By this, it's painfully clear you don't like the games at all, SO DONT PLAY THE GAMES. You didn't like Battlefield 3? Don't play 4! You didn't like NHL 14? Don't play 15!
It's a privilege to live in a world where these games are a reality, and of COURSE we can nitpick and complain, it's human nature! These games are so very imperfect. But to claim it's all just garbage and EA is ruining everything? Seriously, just go do something else. That's not to save me any trouble, it doesn't bother me that you complain, but it does bother me that someone would waste there time putting money into something they hate much more than they love.
The NHL series is well made and well loved. If you don't enjoy it, don't play it. We all have complaints, but I would bet that mostly everyone here still loves playing the games.
Maybe that's just a me thing. I didn't grow up with much, so video games were a little more sparse here. Maybe my personal demands aren't high enough. When a band I love puts out a crap album, guess what? I just don't buy/download the album. Nobody forces me to, so I don't. I like sandwiches, but I don't like Subway and near my work they're the only sandwich shop. Do I complain about their sandwiches? No, I just don't eat there.
Customer satisfaction IS a thing, you're right. Guess how you change something? It's not by complaining, it's by making a choice. Don't be a customer if you don't like anything the company does.
TL;DR - I'd rather fill my recreation time with stuff I actually like than complaining about stuff that isn't good enough for me. Pick things you like and enjoy. Your life will be much better. When the NHL series regains respectability to you, THEN jump back in. What exactly have you got to lose by waiting a few years between NHL games?
